European American Armory brings European handguns and shotguns right here to the States. EAA has recently made inroads into the 2011 market with their Girsan 2311 Witness line of pistols.
For those who like the feel and carry-ability of a single-stack 1911, the Girsan MC1911 is the model to choose, but if you want the latest in shooter-ready upgrades, check out the new Girsan Influencer X.
All About the Girsan Influencer X
The Girsan Influencer X is built for competition, personal protection, and critical duty at an entry-level price point.
It’s a full-size Government 1911 with a tungsten grey steel frame and a black cerakoted slide. The frame features a flat mainspring housing, a flared magazine well, and a serrated front strap and backstrap. The Influencer X has a long skeletonized tuned trigger with a maximum weight of 4.75 lbs., ideal for the square range while still being on the safe side. The front of the frame features a full Picatinny rail that can handle the largest and brightest weapon lights on the market.
The slide features forward and rearward cocking serrations and prominent iron sights. The adjustable rear sight can also be removed to reveal an RMS/RMSc optics footprint. The Influencer X wears an extended beavertail and grip safety as well as an ambidextrous thumb safety. The 5-inch reverse-crowned barrel has a heavy profile for a secure lockup and best accuracy.
